Using IF to return more than text
I would like my IF formula to output in the cell both Text and change color
of the output cell, but when I'm constructing the formula the Paintcan colors become greyed out and seems like only text is allowed. For instance if a cell is greater than another cell's value, I would like the output cell to turn red as well as say "Alert". Any way to do this? -- Matt B. |

You can change the cell's color with Conditional Format. Just use the same
condition as your If statement. -- Regards, Fred "mcb223" wrote in message ...
